hi i just ran across your blog! im also an oboist, hoping to make it professionally one day. im in college right now, do you have any tips or like how did you become a professional oboist?

Hi there! I have been a freelancer all my career, so I don't play the oboe full time. This is actually incredibly common - lots of us supplement our income with teaching or a secondary career. Some people are able to make that career related to music, but tons of us are lawyers, sales clerks, pharmacists, etc. I myself was a designer, then a programmer, and now I work in government.

I have these tips for oboe performance majors:

1) Talk honestly with your career advisor. There are a limited number of orchestras in the world and spots open rarely, yet colleges churn out new performance majors yearly. Where does everyone go? See what you need to learn to be a viable teacher, recording and/or contract musician (lots of touring productions hire locally), etc.

2) Join the local music union. Most gigs will come from word-of-mouth, so start playing with and meeting people. The union is also your source for health insurance.

3) Gain a reputation for being easy to work with and punctual. Both of these traits are more valuable than sheer skill and will get you hired over better players who are arrogant or flighty. (Of course you need to be able to play the part in front of you, no excuses.)

Be a good sight-reader and know the standards. It was a culture shock learning how few rehearsals you do IRL for a concert vs college. Hell, I once toured for 2 weeks with an opera company, no one else spoke English, and we played a different opera every day. You gotta learn to roll with barely any rehearsals.

Be a good leader and if principle, an advocate for the woodwind section. Don't be afraid of conductors, they are just another sclhub in the pit/on stage with you, so learn how to talk to them.

Since oboes are usually first in, last out, be helpful during setup and breakdown. People notice if you are kind.

4) Diversify musically. Most musical theatre pits only want woodwind generalists, so learn the other instruments. They will take a generalist over a specialist any day, it doesn't matter if you are a better oboist.

Also learn interesting instruments that make you useful in recording - soundtracks need things like recorders, penny whistles, etc.

5) Diversify professionally. COVID has taught us how precarious a performance career really is. You need to know how to do other stuff or be good working in retail/food service.

6) Do not turn your nose down at pops, wedding, theme park or church gigs. These pay well. Churches have consistently been my most reliable source of income - I was a church musician for many years and that consistent $250 a weekend for 5 hrs of easy work kept me fed.

7) Be prepared to make tough decisions on what you are worth. I refuse to play for free; I will not give in to sob stories from community orchestras. I refuse to play for orchestras who take 6 months to pay people. "Exposure" is bullshit.

Alas, sometimes you have to coddle bad people in positions of power -- this is where having a backup job helps.

Refusing shitty gigs will get easier as you gain a rep among good people. And it's even easier if you have a backup job -- I have a reputation as That Guy who will corner the contractor (often the conductor) and demand the orchestra get paid on time, because I'm not worried financially about getting fired. I have threatened to sue orchestras to get my people paid. If you are union, stick with your union pals on overtime rules. No bullshit "sound checks" that turn into unpaid rehearsals.

8) It is possible to make it without owning an English Horn, but if you have the means, get one -- it really helps if you want to play more, but you may not necessarily earn more money because of the additional costs.

9) Make friends with the caterers at the gig. Get good at cramming Green Room / backstage food into your pockets or gig bag. Return to the catering table before they dump the food. This is how you will eat some nights.

10) Being a performing musician is... remarkably blue-collar in a way. Be prepared for that kind of lifestyle. You will be hustling your entire life, even if you land an orchestra appointment.

Honestly, though, out of the entire list, #1 is critical for you right here and now. The math just doesn't add up for all of us to be symphonic musicians, so you need to figure out what a performance career looks like to you. Maybe you work at Disney in the parks. Maybe you record video game music from your home studio. But the world has changed and music school (albeit like 25 years ago) did not prepare me for anything other than auditioning for orchestras and grad school. I'm still pissed about it.

That said, even though I don't play full time, I have played some very meaty repertoire. I've played principle with major orchestras (I'm a damned good sub), I've toured, and have done everything on my bucket list except for Tchaik 4 and the Bartok (I have played 2nd here, tho, so good enough).

Also, I don't regret music school - it made me a better, more confident person. I just wish I knew going in what the job market REALLY was like.

I wish you the best!

Satan in High Heels (1962). Tagline: “They all went where the heat was hottest!” I’m using this period of enforced social isolation to explore the weirder corners of YouTube for long forgotten and obscure movies. (My boyfriend Pal is accompanying me only semi-willingly). Hard-boiled and stylish, Satan in High Heels represents the acme of early sixties sexploitation not made by Russ Meyer. Characterized by exceptionally good acting, noir-ish and atmospheric black-and-white cinematography and an urgent jazz soundtrack, Satan was filmed in just 21 days with an estimated budget of less than $100,000 – and is a taut 89-minute journey into deep sleaze. 

The plot offers the same essential premise as an earlier b-movie I recently raved about, Wicked Woman (1953) starring Beverly Michaels: a disreputable trampy woman washes-up in a new town and proceeds to stir-up trouble. In this case, it’s scheming, manipulative and utterly amoral fairground burlesque dancer Stacey Kane (played by 1950s chanteuse and pin-up queen Meg Myles). Weary of her hard-scrabble two-bit existence bumping-and-grinding in the carnival, Stacey robs her useless heroin addict husband of $900 and flees to New York to re-invent herself as a singer. Cynically using sex and a smile, the redheaded vixen inveigles her way into a gig crooning at the upscale Greenwich Village nightclub managed by fiercely chic and jaded lesbian proprietress Pepe (the reliably-intense Grayson Hall, in a role anticipating Elaine Stritch in Who Killed Teddy Bear? (1965)). Stacey promptly becomes the mistress of wealthy married businessman Arnold Kenyon, but – to considerably complicate things – she also pursues Kenyon’s feckless beatnik son Laurence. (Within the context of the film, we’re presumably meant to think young Laurence is the “appropriate” love interest, but the actor who plays Arnold is significantly more appealing – he’s a suave silver-haired DILF in the tradition of Roger Sterling in Mad Men). 

Aside from some fleeting glimpses of side boob in a gratuitous skinny-dipping scene, no actual nudity is on display. But Satan’s producer Leonard Burtman’s background was in the realm of fetish porn magazines (his specialist titles included Bizarre Life, Exotique and High Heels), and that sensibility is amply reflected onscreen in the emphasis on Stacey’s spike-heeled Spring-o-Lator mules (her footwear is by Sydney’s of Hollywood) and especially the kinky black leather dominatrix ensemble she wears (complete with jodhpurs and riding crop) growling the climactic musical number “The Female of the Species” (sample lyric: "I'm the kind of woman/ Not hard to understand / I'm the kind that cracks the whip /And takes the upper hand". At points you can audibly hear the leather creaking as Stacy moves).  Everyone snarls their tough-as-nails dialogue, chain-smokes and knocks-back hard liquor. (You could play a fun drinking game taking a sip every time a character onscreen does, but it would risk projectile vomiting). 

Sporting an impressive lacquered beehive, Meg Myles is wholly commanding as bitch goddess extraordinaire Stacey. She radiates bad girl anti-charm, and she’s got a sultry way of delivering a jazz ballad, too. Satan is at its most campily enjoyable in the scenes of Stacey and stern task mistress Pepe sparring (the club’s handsome gay pianist Paul – played by Del Tenney – sometimes joins in). “I’m not upset. I’m tired,” Stacy complains at one point. “T-I-R-E-D!” "You'll EAT and DRINK what I SAY until you lose five pounds IN THE PLACES WHERE!" Pepe fires back. “I don’t care if you can breathe or not – you’ll wear a girdle and smile!” With her butch tailored suits and long cigarette holder, Grayson Hall is a consummate scene stealer and a great LGBTQ role model! (Inexplicably, Hall hated this film and used to deny appearing in it). Watch also for simpering ultra-kitsch sex bomb Sabrina (the British Jayne Mansfield) as Stacey’s bitter rival. She’s gloriously awful! Link to watch film. 

Let’s face it: the puritanical, hypocritical and homophobic hellsite Tumblr has become a dying platform since it banned adult content in December 2018. I post here less and less. Follow me instead on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook or on my blog. Fuck Tumblr!

5 Songs About Restaurants That We Love And One That We Hate added to Google Docs

5 Songs About Restaurants That We Love And One That We Hate

If you’re like us, you’re probably immersed in news about health and safety. While it’s important to stay alert and informed, especially under extraordinary circumstances, it’s worth taking some time out to relax a little. The great philosopher Plato famously said, “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” For most, music is a staple of your restaurant, from the kind of ambient background music that you play for atmosphere, to sophisticated neuromarketing techniques that can help drive sales. So while we’re staying in and planning for our next moves, let’s take a look at a few of our favorite -and not so favorite- songs about restaurants. 

Songs We Love

To add a little spice to the menu, we’re looking at some of the coolest songs to play in your restaurant, whether they’re about eating in house or off-premise. Our metrics for what made the list is as subjective as your tastes. To keep it logical though, we went with songs that have a certain je n’ais ce quoi, the kind of tracks that you put on to evoke a mood, a time, or a place. Because that’s the name of the game: giving your guests the entertainment to help keep their mind off of their troubles, while hopefully enticing them back for seconds.

Van Halen – Ice Cream Man (1978)

You might know Van Halen from hits like Jump or Panama, radio rock ragers designed to get fans fired up for more. On Ice Cream Man, a cut from their self-titled debut, the band wax poetic about ice cream vendors, perhaps one of the first food trucks that you encountered as a child. While the song goes on to enumerate a host of iced delicacies that singer David Lee Roth has to offer, the subtext is typical of the band, a sultry tune specifically dedicated to “the ladies.”

Play this on the first day of summer or any day that you have a special that involves ice cream, and watch your guests melt.

Rupert Holmes – Escape (The Piña Colada Song) (1979)

It’s likely that you’ve encountered this song at a beach or in a movie (it’s on the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack) that is relatively tropical in nature. This is a lighthearted and relatively corny track, often inaccurately (if reasonably) attributed to Jimmy Buffet. Holmes has crafted pure yacht rock gold, unflinchingly cheesy and incredibly catchy, so much so that it’s easy to miss the gist of the song. Here you have a couple who have fallen out of love… or so they thought. They go their separate ways and simultaneously elect to look for new loves, only to find each other again through the wanted section. It’s a sweet song about people finding love together, and their meetup is in a restaurant.

Put this track on for romantic, but low-key summer vibes. It pairs well with a stiff piña colada and a honey garlic shrimp dish.

Thin Lizzy – The Boys Are Back in Town (1976)

If you’ve heard any track by this 70’s Irish quartet, it’s this one — for good measure! Those warm guitar leads (per Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson) ring like heaven-sent cherubs dispelling your negative vibes. We could talk about the riffs and singalong chorus, but this classic makes our list NOT for its craft or lofty mythologizing, but its lyrical fodder.

In the song, singer/bassist Phil Lynott wryly references “them wild-eyed boys who got away” who’ve now returned to town. He crafts a Rockwellian portrait of summer nights, youth “dressed to kill” and congregating at Dino’s, the local bar and grill. “The drinks will flow, and the blood will spill,” he croons, as images of rockers, burgers, brawls, and beer permeate our visage.

We’d never condone such behavior, and enjoy it only in the fictional sense. Let’s be honest, though, who can’t enjoy stories of mirth, merrymaking, and gathering in restaurants in this time of quarantine?

Editor’s note: this section penned by Dylan Chadwick. 

Billy Joel – Scenes From An Italian Restaurant (1977)

In “Scenes From An Italian Restaurant,” Billy Joel paints a picture of warmth. What starts off as a sweet date, a quiet evening out to dinner, makes way to the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. The focal point of Joel’s nostalgia is that romantic moment, that time before things got too busy. Joel picks up the pace to emphasize how overwhelming everything seems that idyllic moment.

You can do that in your restaurant too. Make sure your restaurant has the right aural vibe, a comfortable atmosphere to talk and get to know each other. Pair this with a bottle of wine, maybe a Spanish red, and set aside special places for quiet, intimate moments, like a booth with low ambient lighting to help set the mood. 

Buck 65 – Food Song (2008)

The definition of an underrated artist, Buck 65 put out some of the most thought-provoking and colorful lo-fi hip-hop of the early-aughts. Here, the emcee reflects on his favorite dishes, enumerating each by their value. Opening with the line “food it puts me in a good mood, it keeps me goin’,” Buck 65 only moves on from there expressing his love of culinary delights. The kicker: this is a PG track, so perfect for playing in a family-friendly environment, all while promoting healthy eating.

Pair this with warm, sunny weather and light pub fare. Sip tea or a light beer with this on in the background and enjoy the patio with your friends. We’ll all get back there eventually.

Song We Hate

If you’ve ever made music, you know how the sausage is made (so to speak). You know that you have to spend time honing your craft, whittling each track down to the final product. It’s like Michelangelo’s David in the block of marble. You see that in your kitchen too. You’ve likely invested the time in one or all of the following: a great chef, an amazing menu, and the kitchen or front-of-house tech that you need to streamline your business. So hearing something negative is no fun.

But just like any good cook knows: taste is subjective. Some things just aren’t good, and that’s okay; negative feedback teaches us how we can make something better later. With that in mind, let’s move on to the lone song we hate.

Don Henley – Sunset Grill (1984)

With “Sunset Grill,” Don Henley pens a bland ode to a local table service restaurant, a gastropub near a business district. And you know this because Henley makes it clear that the Sunset Grill is the post-work hangout where he and his pals can go and “watch the working girls walk by,” which frankly is a little creepy. Does he mean well? Maybe. But I’d have to wonder how those working girls feel to be objectified when they just want to move on to their day.

Beyond that though, the music here is just full-on 80’s cheese. The composition is as exciting as a pair of beige slacks, with the Eagles drummer/vocalist crooning over synth horns, electronic drum fills, and slap bass. Combine that with a set of lyrics that refers to restaurant wait staff as “the basket people,” and calls everyone that isn’t at his table “jerks,” and you paint a particularly unsympathetic character. It’s laughable, then, when Henley tries to couch his music as something that everyday folks do, or that he posits himself as the protagonist there to protect the women that he gawks at while getting drunk in the afternoon. 

Are there some fine qualities about the song? Sure. Henley is a competent songwriter, despite this writer’s distaste for the Eagles. He’s just undeniably talented. And his appreciation here for being a regular at a local establishment is nice too. It’d just be a lot nicer if he were perhaps a little kinder to the people that he encounters. Pair this last call, so that you can run your guests off at close-up time.

Conclusion

Obviously, we love music here as much as we love restaurants. We wanted to put this out there to have a little fun. Things are hard right now and we all know that we’ve got a little ways to go. But we’re working together on that and we’ll get through this. One way we can do that is to relax a little and blow off steam with a return to normalcy, the kind of debates that you get in with your friends or staff for fun. Disagree with any of our songs? Have any to share on your own? Hit us up in the comments section.

This would certainly be the egg that holds every little thing else with each other if joy were a cake.

To the level that forecasters are associated with each other, a few of the variation in the end result of happiness is discussed by greater than one forecaster, thus creating the impression that more is described than there is. Approaches of numerous regression could separate out such overlap, and also the details of just how that is done need not detain us right here. The standard problem is that, to this day, the scientific research has actually had the tendency to treat life as less complex compared to it is. For instance, if happiness is defined as positive moods, that is pleasure, it excludes the joy that can only be acquired with pain. Despair at the absence of an enjoyed one is joy as compared to life with a person one dislikes. To attain this, greater than 100 volunteer specialists specializing in several areas, along with 3 P/T staff, have actually devoted 10s of countless hrs to the Quest of Joy project.

The philosophy of joy has actually remained to have profound impact to this day, both in intellectual discussion and also in day-to-day arguments about exactly what is ideal as well as incorrect. Amongst the large dials people could tune to impact individual happiness is what does it cost? we contrast ourselves to others. Your boost in happiness will certainly have to do with the exact same if you cohabitate with a joyful partner, live within a mile of a pleased sibling, or if your following door next-door neighbor is extra joyful, claim San Diego-based researchers Good feelings truly do abrade, so keep your friends close, and your happiest pals even better. 4, my raised joy rating is attributable to something outside of the application-- warmer weather condition, or starting to exercise more, or discovering the Hamilton soundtrack. Yet the inquiry's difficult because of a problematic prejudice concerning exactly what kind of thing happiness could be. I want to identify the error as well as suggest a corrective. I see it occasionally, when the problems are excellent, and also the celebrities straighten so. When joy strikes in my classroom, I cherish it as I would other rare anomaly, like thundersnow or a two-faced calf Routine discoveries, nevertheless, appear way too much to hope for offered the inhospitable environment in many American classrooms. My two coworkers - Ken Sheldon at the University of Missouri and David Schkade at UC San Diego - and also I developed a theory that describes one of the most important aspects figuring out joy. There is material right here also from Schopenhauer which one would certainly think has absolutely nothing to claim regarding happiness. Where: We're eager for people to develop neighborhood Activity for Joy teams any place they remain in the globe. However, as we develop, life conspires to gum up our data cpus-- our brains-- with fancy illusions regarding exactly what we need to be doing, what joy would certainly resemble, just what matters. Those who see the quest for happiness as a vain and superficial phenomenon tend to believe it has no deeper pedigree compared to Ronald McDonald or Yogi Bear.

It is in some cases stated that Norway attains and maintains its high happiness not as a result of its oil wide range, however despite it. By opting to generate its oil slowly, as well as spending the profits for the future rather than spending them in the here and now, Norway has insulated itself from the boom and also breast cycle of several various other resource-rich economic situations. In the last few years there have been significant breakthroughs in the scientific research of well-being with a large selection of brand-new evidence as to the elements that impact joy as well as methods which we could measure joy more accurately. You will obtain ice cream if your area is clean, which suggests joy will just come 'after' you have attained some degree or satisfied a requirement.

o/one (2009) - Film Edit (1M1). Music by Pierre André Lowenstein of Soundtrack Specialist, Inc. © 2009 Pierre André Lowenstein (ASCAP) / Administered by Soundtrack Specialist (ASCAP).

Bound by Passion... Bound by Choice... Bound to Be...

o/one is a story about a woman realizing her sexuality and choosing between what she has and what she desires. VICTORIA DE MARE is riveting as a lonely housewife that has it all, yet nothing. A chance encounter with a mysterious man propels her into questioning her own existence. Written, directed and produced by visionary SHANE HARRINGTON, o/one is an inspirational story to anyone entering into the world of sadomasochism.

Notes from the composer: A character study, O/ONE is heavily dependent on its voiceover to get its story told. An interesting challenge on a scoring level as you must play "below the dialogues" and hit only the necessary character arc moments (in other words, you do just enough and not too much). The end result is intimate, minimalistic and piano only in its original iteration. -PAL|Soundtrack Specialist.

Loneliness** (1:09) *Excerpts from: Baraka [Alternate Score]. **Excerpt from: Okia Okaya [String Quartet, Jazz Trio & Japanese Voice.] All Tracks Recorded at Berklee College of Music (Boston). One of my final projects done at Berklee College of Music for my Bachelor's Degree in Film Scoring, Western was written as a replacement main title for The Young Riders TV series. Two vastly different themes were initially developed before settling on the most direct approach. A very quick write (the final version took less than two days to take shape), it is a heartfelt homage toward Elmer Bernstein's The Magnificent Seven. New-York City, originally written for a key section from the feature film The Doctor, represented my first exposure to the use of "punches & streamers". A technique that allowed me to play with the respiration of the players (strings and trumpet), all concealed within a Jazz idiom adapted to a sequence in which the physician himself endures Chemotherapy. As the scene closes to an end, a mute solo trumpet addresses a close shot of the principal character (played by William Hurt) then in total dispair. Helmed by Ron Fricke, the director of photography of Koyaanisqatsi, Baraka (excerpts: tracks 3, 4 & 5), is an ambitious twelve minute score devoted to a recap montage of the original film. The general concept of the documentary dealing with nature and how the human race is interconnected to its environment, I took a quote from Koyaanisqatsi and first temped the footage with wall to wall minimalistic music (mostly Philip Glass and Steve Reich) before eventually shifting into a pure synthetic effort. In order, the excerpts presented here follow the Calcutta Foragers (Indian Poverty), a close shot of a Brazilian native indian succeeded by long shots of Brazilia & New-York City (Modern Brazil or native percussions surrounded by technology) and, finally, the overture Aiko which is the first cue heard against static shots of Nepanese Mountains, Japanese monkeys and the titles themselves. In total, thirty minutes of music were written for this score (consisting of alternates, rejected and obviously final versions) and, very much like what happened on the Young Riders, my main theme wasn't the one I expected. Originally, the Aiko theme was not my first choice for the overture (it was not even written for Baraka to start with) but, after a cue to cue confrontation with my then mentor (Joseph Smith - Dean of the Writing Division at Berklee and Jay Chattaway's orchestrator on Star Trek The Next Generation), it became clear that it was the right way to go. As my final project in film scoring at Berklee, Baraka was a coming of age experience for me; something I'm still proud of after all these years. Tracks 6 to 9 are incidental film music cues, written for various Berklee film scoring projects, presented here in edited fashion to maximize the dramatic flow. Okia Okaya, whose introduction is heard here under the title Loneliness (track 10), is a ten minute jazz piece for string quartet, jazz trio and Japanese voice. Written for two of my best Japanese friends, the goal was to make the middle section sound as French as possible (thanks to a highly emotional chord progression unheard here) while adding a sense of Japanese nostalgia with the introduction and conclusion for string quartet (live recording 11/2000). - PAL|Soundtrack Specialist (Santa Monica, April 2002).
